3 Unique Subscriptions to Keep Your Kiddos Busy

Since many of us in isolation, I wanted to share with you my top three educational and SUPER FUN subscription boxes that are excellent to entertain your kiddos.

I am a big fan of subscription boxes (if you can’t already tell) because many of them are small businesses, and they provide excellent experiences not available anywhere else. By supporting these small businesses you are helping families continue to earn an income during these harrowing times, while also adding some fun, new experiences to your life at home!

Each of these boxes are educational in one form or another and are excellent to incorporate into any home schooling you are practicing with your child. And who knows, maybe your child will pick up a new passion while you are at it!

My Top 3 Subscriptions for Kiddos

1) BITSBOX – THE ULTIMATE CODING SUBSCRIPTION

Monthly Coding Projects for Kids 6-12

Voted #1 STEM box for kids: Bitsbox is a crazyfun subscription box that teaches kids how to code! Bitsbox delivers coding projects that teach kids to make video games, greeting cards, simulations, and more. Kids start by coding from examples and progress quickly to inventing their own apps! WARNING: Frequently leads to fits of giggles!

• Perfect for curious kids ages 6 to 12 years old
• No experience necessary—beginners welcome!
• New projects arrive every month. Each box teaches a new computer science concept
• Kids build apps on the Bitsbox website; the apps they build work on any mobile device!
• Each subscription comes with unlimited email support for coders

Coding is such an important skill nowadays (and it is one that I wish I had!) This box makes learning to code fun and interactive for your child, which creates an excellent occupational therapy activity that your child can do in your home. Start career development early with BITSBOX!

2) CLUB SCIKIDZ LABS – THE ULTIMATE SCIENCE/ENGINEERING SUBSCRIPTION

Club SciKidz: Great Science begins here!

Club Scikidz specializes in sending engaging and fun career-related science kits each month! Each lab kit is a comprehensive collection of STEM-based hands-on activities, experiments, and projects that will help young scientists and engineers explore the wonders of the world around them.

• Challenging science and technology experiments
• Topics include Veterinary Medicine, Robotics, Climate Science, Oceans, and more!
• Every box includes an exclusive lab notebook containing micro-experiments, quotes, riddles, and scientists who inspire!
• Creative engineering projects and enough supplies to build a home lab!
• FREE 18 page activity guide included in each box!

I am a huge science nerd, so of course I had to include Club SciKidz. This box brings your child various science and technology experience that you can assist them with in the home. Home schooling for a child who is used to going to a physical school can be challenging, but Club SciKidz brings the science class to your child and can spice up any day in isolation. I guarantee that you will have just as much fun assisting your child with their experiments as they have performing them!
